Recommendations for 1) Eureka Springs & 2) Memphis

Hello All. In mid-September, we're taking a trip in our 26' Class C pulling a 12' covered cargo trailer with our scooters. We're middle aged and will have no children and no pets with us.

Looking for recommendations for the Eureka Springs AR area and then for the Memphis TN area. No real special needs other than with the trailer, a pull through site is easier, a nice pool is always welcome and of course, cleanliness all around in the restrooms etc.

Not interested in parks that are geared to families with lots of those kind of attractions and activities i.e. Yogi Bear's Jellystone etc, type parks.

What suggestions do you have for us? Thanks in advance, ~ Bugjr ~

  • In Eureka Springs we stayed at the Kettle campground. No complaints the staff was helpful and friendly. The few nights we were there we'd walk up the swings that looks at the road.. interesting people in that area.

    The trolley has a stop at the entrance. Can't remember the pricing but a excellent alternative to driving around that city, which can be a mess! And you won't have to pay for parking. We bought the tickets from the staff at the campground.

    there are lots of COE campgrounds on the lake in that area. thats where we stayed. big sites, nice views.
  • Eureka Springs is nice. Allow yourself a little extra travel time in that neck of the woods, though, because all of the roads are curvy and slow going.
  • We live south of Memphis in northern Mississippi. I like the Hernando Point COE campground that is between Hernando and Coldwater, MS. It puts you about 22 miles south of Memphis away from the city. Campground is set on a lake with lots of trees.

    Your other choices are Tom Sawyer campground in West Memphis, Arkansaw which is highly recommended by many. There are several RV parks in Southaven, MS that would work for you also. These are typical RV parks, packed tight with full hookups.

    You will find a lot of good riding in Arkansas - one of our favorite places to ride. Keep the bikes in the trailer in Memphis - very flat and not too many curves!
  • You might check out Turpentine Creek RV Park, just a few miles south of Eureka Springs. Only seven sites, but it should be quiet.
